i have the following symptoms:
1. frequent low grade fevers
2. frequent extreme fatigue
3. Joint pain
4. Muscle aches and deep muscle pain associated with muscular weakness
5. history of pericarditis and inflammation of lining of chest wall
6. Chills- always cold. fingers and toes turn white and or blue and purple with cold.
7. butterfly rash
8. other odd rashes
9. stomac pain
10. Migraines
11. sores in mouth and throat
12. sore throats for no reason
13. calf pain
14. extreme weakness
15. hair falling out in large quantities and fast
16. sun sensitivity
17. calf pain
18. multiple chemical sensitivity or multiple allergies to many different medicines.
19. three miscarrages, 4 additional pregnancies 2 babies died for no apparent reason all i am told is it was nothing i did and i am not to blame.

but the only thing my doc cares about is that my ANA is negative and so there is nothing wrong with me and i can not possibly have lupus. how sick do i have to get before i am sick enough? are there documented cases of lupus with negative ANA's? or am i crazy like it has been implied. i am now treated like a hysterical depressed female. can anyone help me? i wind up in tears every time i go to the doctor because i am told my symptoms are psycologically based.

I forgot a few things
one of them is that my memory is horrid. I go to the store and forget why. i also fall a lot, trip, bump into things, and bruise so easily it isnt funny. the funny part is some of the bruises appear without my falling, tripping or bumping into things. my husband is a rock through all of this. and even gets mad at the doctors when they say there is nothing wrong. he has seen how bad my bad days are and how poor my good days have been lately. heck when i cant sleep he cant either. i have no clue how he knows but he always knows when i am awake and in pain at night. oh and my doctor decided i have allergies and is giving me allergy meds and a nasal spray... funny how the steroids sneaked up on me cause the nasal spray is a steroid related to prednisone. i have been sick for more than 6 years. and during this time i have been sent to the psyciatrist so many times it isn't funny. and only 1 of them thought i had a mental problem. haha and his opinion has been over turned by 5 others since he decided to listen to my quak of a doc. i have changed docs 6 times because they refused to believe me. i just changed to this new one and already he says there is no reason to look for a cause of the pain and refered me to the local mental health office. what do i have to do? die? be hospitalized? i did that with pericarditis, and still there is nothing wrong with me as my ANA is neg. can someone help me i may go crazy just because i am kind of starting to believe these doctors when they say all of this is in my head. even the diagnosed problems (ie the pericarditis, inflammation of chest lining, and other documented illnesses).

Hello,

I would recommend you see a good natropath and stay away from doctors seeming they are being of no help to you. I have found in my own experiences that many doctors are just peddlers for the drug companies. Natropaths can help you and your body the natural way and do many tests that doctors don't do that give a clearer picture of what is happening in the body such as blood analasis and hair analasis. Ginko Biloba ( herb ) is great for the memory and concentration and doesn't take long to work (take about 7000 mg a day in capsule form) Yoga and deep breathing also helps the brain and whole body. So many things can help you other than doctors if you are willing to give them a try. Lots of love to you. If you would like me to do some distance Reiki healing for you let me know at my Email address.
